Local knowledge for Pula
Where to stay
Most hostels cluster in the old town, within walking distance of the Arena and Forum Square, with a handful of cheaper options along the streets east toward the bus station. Both areas keep you on or near Sergijevaca, the main pedestrian strip, and close to the covered market.
Getting around
- Eat at the Gradska tržnica, Pula's covered market on the edge of the old town. Hot prepared food and fresh produce there cost a fraction of what the restaurants on Forum Square charge.
- The Arena is worth the entry fee once, but the exterior is free to circle at any time and looks best after 7 p.m. when day-trippers have cleared out.
- Cape Kamenjak's beaches are free but the nature park is about 11 km south with no dependable public transit. Renting a bike in town is the most reliable way to get there without paying for a taxi.
When to go
May and early October are the cheapest months. July and August fill hostels fast, and mid-July is especially tight during the Pula Film Festival, when the Arena hosts nightly outdoor screenings and the whole city gets busier.
